Unsettling food politics

For over two decades, activists, farmers and scholars have been arguing that the industrialized global food system erodes democracy, perpetuates injustices, undermines population health and is environmentally unsustainable. We explore these claims as well as the historical problems of food and agriculture in this country and ask what changes in production would be required to create a more just and sustainable food future.
